Baby boy is doing very well. He has passed all NST's with flying colors and mom's blood pressure is great. Had a growth scan today and he is estimated to be 6 lbs 5 ozs with lots of hair and long legs. Today he appeared to be sucking on his toes!
Downside: He is still happily in his breech position. Mom could do without the bulging head above her belly button making her acid reflux even worse! There is still some time for him to turn but the perinatal was not hopeful since he has never been head down. Mom is trying all non invasive techniques to encourage him to turn with the final attempt being a call to an acupuncturist this week. It is appearing that a schedule c-section might be in my future but I'm refusing until after 39 weeks.
Nursery: It is painted, crown and base is up and painted. Daddy has some blue paint to touch up and the carpet cleaner is coming on Thursday. If all goes well, the room will be loaded this weekend. Daddy really wants his garage space back. I'm so excited to see the crib put together for the first time!
Baby Shower was on the 30th. I had a great time celebrating with family and friends. I'm still in amazement and feel so blessed by their generosity.
Here are some photos:
A very rare belly photo:
You are looking so beautiful! I'm so happy that he is growing strong and healthy! What a little stinker though about staying in that breech position! I'll cross my fingers with you that he will flip and I love your after 39 week plan if needed for the cesarean! What a wise mom you already are! Big hugs and I hope these last few weeks are fun! Love you!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful. I'm glad that all is going well, except for the breech position. How exciting that his room is just about ready. Sending hugs your way sweet friend.
